Afghanistan International: Richard Bennett, the United Nations (UN) Special Rapporteur on Human Rights, in his new report said that some “credible sources” testified about sexual harassment and rape of women inside Taliban prisons. Bennett added that he was deeply concerned by the numerous reports of sexual violence against women inside the Taliban’s prison. The United Nations on Monday released a detailed report by Bennett, which he will present to the UN General Assembly on November 2. The UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights further referred to the Taliban’s claim to represent the entire Afghan people, “The Taliban regime is neither inclusive nor representative of Afghan society.” The Special Rapporteur added that the Taliban, especially at the highest levels of leadership, are mainly Sunni Pashtun men. According to the report, the Taliban claims unity in the country, but has discriminated, excluded, and rejected ethnic, religious, and linguistic groups outside the Taliban.
